Brodie Smith has jumped into second place in voting for the fans’ most valuable player title.

The Crows defender was clearly the leading votegetter in Adelaide’s round 13 win over North Melbourne and is now right behind Patrick Dangerfield, who had established a big lead with four consecutive “best” games from round five to nine.

Rory Sloane, who the fans rated second best against North Melbourne, is now in third place ahead of Sam Jacobs, Scott Thompson, Daniel Talia and Eddie Betts.

Voting for round 14 (v Essendon) is now open. To vote (or if it’s your first time – register) go to: http://fansmvp.afc.com.au

Assign three votes to the player you deem to be the best Crows player for that game, two votes to the second best player and one vote to the third best. Just click on the little plus sign next to the player image.?

At the end of the voting period (when the next Crows game starts) all the votes are added up but there are now a maximum of 100 points per game that can be awarded to the entire team.

Each player is then given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally (eg. if 1,200 votes were placed in Round 1 and Rory Sloane receives 600, then that is the equivalent of 50% of all votes for that round and he would receive 50 points towards his season tally. If the second best player received 200 votes from 1,200 then that is the equivalent of 16.7% and he will get 17 votes towards the season tally.

The same thing happens after each round and the player accumulates points.?Then, at the end of the season, the player who is at the top of the season leaderboard is crowned the Crows Fans Most Valuable Player. 

The top three Crows each game, as voted by the fans, have been:

Round one: Sam Jacobs, Matthew Wright, Sam Kerridge
